Chapter 111: The Periphery Has Been Resolved
In the third year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, in June 192 AD, a piece of news spread all over the north and south of the river, divided into two factions of princes, happy and worried, of course, these are floating clouds for Cao Cao, and he is still busy with his head down! That's going to care about these gossip...
Cao's main general Xiahoudun led 50,000 troops to meet Yuan Shu's 100,000 military horses, the two sides fought in Fengqiu, Xiahoudun listened to the plan of the military advisor Li Yu, broke the Fengqiu City, killed Yuan Shu's general Lei Bo, Yuan Shu fled in the wilderness, fled to Kuangting, the whole army fought again, Yuan Shu was defeated again, retired to Yongqiu, and returned to Shouchun in the south;
On the way back to Shouchun, Cao's army stopped the pursuit, but when it arrived at Shouchun City, the defender Chen Yu did not let him enter the city, Yuan Shu retreated to Yinling, gathered troops to attack Chen Yu, and Chen Yu fled back to Xiapi. Yuan Shu led the rest of the troops to Jiujiang County, killed Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou who had just attached to him, and led Yangzhou Mu himself, also known as Xuzhou Bo.
Cao Cao personally led the army to fight with Jin Shang in Suojube, beheaded Jin Shang and Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo, killed more than 30,000 Hun cavalry, and surrendered more than 100,000 Black Mountain troops!
Every piece of news was enough for the princes to mutter, and Li Dao of Chang'an, who had just supported Yuan Shu, immediately gave up his support for him, and turned cheeky to curry favor with Cao Cao, and named Cao Cao as the general of Zhendong and the pastor of Yanzhou with the will of the imperial court, and the commander-in-chief of Yanzhou's military and political power!
Xu Rong failed to stay, Cao Cao sent him off ten miles, which touched this affectionate man, maybe the next time they met, he would follow Cao Cao;
With Xu Rong's defense, it will be difficult for Li Dao and Guo Yan of Chang'an to invade Yanzhou!
As soon as Tao Qian, the old fox in the east, saw Cao Jun's victory, he immediately surrendered to Xuzhou and did not come out again, and at the same time he also knew that he was afraid that he was on the wrong team! Yuan Shu is unreliable! After a long sigh and a few days of worry, Tao Qian, who was no longer strong, fell ill and returned to Xuzhou City to recuperate...
In this way, the siege of Yanzhou on all sides is solved, and no one dares to ignore its edge in a short period of time.
······ Dividing line
Jizhou City··· Yuan Shao's hometown···
After listening to Cao Cao's good news, as the boss of the "Shao forces", Yuan Shao was not happy, and he did not have the excitement of defeating the "magic forces" at all, he was a little jealous, jealous of Cao Cao's ability;
This time, the exchange of fire between the "Shao forces" and the "magic forces" was completely fought around Yanzhou, to put it bluntly, Yuan Shao, the boss, didn't do anything, just watched the little brother fight in front, but after the little brother won, the boss was a little jealous, or jealous;
Yuan Shao walked back and forth: "Ah! Our army suffered heavy casualties and captured the lair of the Montenegrin army, but he Cao Apu became the one who picked the fruit! Who do you think I'm going to reason with? ”
As everyone knows, Cao Cao also said: Yuan Shao, the grandson, broke the lair of the Montenegrin army, and in the end, it was not me Cao Mengde who suffered? Who am I going to reason with?
Yuan Shao's advisers looked at each other and smiled bitterly, his own lord was only afraid that he was cautious and jealous!
After Yuan Shao was almost vented, Xu You twisted his three-inch short beard and said in a deep voice: "In fact, what the lord is worried about is nothing more than Cao Cao's ability, he has deceived Yanzhou, and there are two thieves of the Qingzhou Army and the Black Mountain Army who rely on eagle dogs, the lord is thinking about whether he will ruin his own plan, right?" ”
In fact, this is all a pretext, Xu You is looking for Yuan Shao to go down the steps, Yuan Shao was still scolding Cao Apu in his heart for how can this pickled goods be able to surrender the Black Mountain Army, occupy Yanzhou, defeat Yuan Shu and the like, after hearing Xu You's sycophancy, he calmed down a lot and handed Xu You a: You are good, I will give you a rewarding look later!
Yuan Shao calmly sat on the tiger skin chair and gestured: "Yes! What Ziyuan said is exactly what I am worried about! Cao Cao! Cao Apu! I underestimated him! This guy who has always been a green-skinned scoundrel is about to become our enemy! ”
Guo Tu flashed out under the account: "Why didn't the lord take advantage of Cao Cao's unstable foothold and lack of deep foundation to take him down to get rid of future troubles?" Yuan Shao's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be a little moved;
"Humph! Guo Tu! You're harming your lord! Although the lord has occupied the land of Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou, we are also unstable, and there is a big enemy behind Gongsun Zhan, if we send troops to Yanzhou, Cao Cao will be forced to unite Gongsun Zhan... That's not good! Besides, Cao Cao is now our ally, and our attack on him is tantamount to treachery! This is also a huge blow to the prestige of the lord! I hope the Lord will be clear! Tian Feng persuaded;
After listening to Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shao was a little discouraged, and he didn't squeak for a long time, Guo Tu was a little anxious: "Lord!" That Gongsun Chan is just surviving! At present, the lord has occupied most of the land in Hebei, and the wealthy families of the scholar clan are even more helpful, and the argument that the foothold is unstable is just nonsense, Cao Cao is the great enemy of the lord, and if he wants to enter the Central Plains, his threat is too great! Only by destroying him in the bud can you feel at ease! ”
Kill Cao Cao? Maybe this is a good decision-making policy, but from Yuan Shao's point of view, there is no point in destroying Cao Cao at this time, but it will ruin his reputation, attract criticism, and push all the allies of the "Shao forces" to the side of the "Shu forces";
The "magic forces" have not completely failed, their strength is still very strong, at this time, attacking the allies will only make their own side face a huge crisis, which is not suitable for the current development of Yuan Shao's forces, what Yuan Shao needs now is a solid foundation, sweep away the troubles, and then enter the world!
Tian Feng was a little annoyed: "Guo Tu! Don't ruin the great cause of the Lord for your own selfishness! Don't think I don't know! In Chen Liu, Cao Cao killed your uncle's family! You're taking revenge on your own! Disturbed! ”
Guo Tu was furious: "Piff! You dare to insult me! Tian Feng also looked at each other angrily, seeing that he was about to have an all-martial arts trip, Yuan Shao, the boss, snorted heavily: "Stop it for me!" You are all important ministers of the Han Dynasty, such a posture! What a system! ”
"The Lord is angry!" , Everyone bowed down, Yuan Shao snorted twice, turned around and walked away, and when he left, he glanced at Guo Tu with a little meaning, Guo Tu was drenched in cold sweat: "I don't have the heart to take revenge for myself!" I hope the Lord will be clear! ”
Yuan Shao suddenly smiled: "Wen Ze! I don't blame you for today's events! One day, I'll let you take revenge with your own hands! ”
Guo Tubai fell: "Thank you, lord!" ”
After Yuan Shao left, Guo Tu had a gloomy face: "Tian Feng! Tian Yuanhao! You have to remember today's events! ”
Tian Feng's face did not change: "What I think about is for the good of the Lord, I have no shame in my heart, how can I not remember?" ”
At this point, Yuan Shao's Wenchen began to divide and oppose each other, until the battle for the succession of the prince completely broke out, all because of what Cao Cao did, he cut down Chen Liucheng, Guo Tu's clansmen...
